谈到早先摇滚史，一般人推到Bill Haley和Chuck Berry。当然再向前推，节奏布鲁
斯，黑人灵歌，以至于爵士乐，就太过了。其实就是Bill Haley和Chuck Berry都是
紧密结奏型，以至于猫王Presley都是。这也许对早先摇滚乐手是不小的提示，但对
于八十年代末才接触摇滚乐的我等，就有点远了。经典金曲一中有Bill Haley的Rock
around the clock，Chuck Berry的Johnny B Goode，Chuck Berry是迪伦的偶像，
就象猫王与Little Richard是theBeatles的偶象。可是我接受摇滚乐还是从迪伦的
Blowing in the Wind后，theBeatles大约也是那时候红火。猫王的歌Love me tender,
love me sweet很抒情，金曲中收录的是他的All shook up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7f8tolfNYI
六十年代摇滚乐疯逛，虽然主体在英美，但融汇世界各地特色。比如雷鬼就融合了非
洲、牙买加中南美的音乐。关健还是有了这个运动，反战，花童，学生运动此起彼
伏，给乐手们提供了无限背景。多次摇滚盛会，比如说Woodstock，Jimi就很风云。
但Woodstock上最让我惊心的还是一首Janis Joplin的歌Work Me Lord：
"Work Me, Lord"
Work me Lord, work me Lord.
Please don't you leave me,
I feel so useless down here
With no one to love
Though I've looked everywhere
And I can't find me anybody to love,
To feel my care.
So ah work me Lord, whoa use me Lord,
Don't you know how hard it is
Trying to live all alone.
Every day I keep trying to move forward,
But something is driving me, oh, back,
Honey, something's trying to hold on to me,
To my way of life.
So don't you forget me down here, Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Ah, ah, don't you forget me, Lord.
Well I don't think I'm any very special
Kind of person down here, I know better,
But I don't think you're gonna find anybody,
Not anybody who could say that they tried like I tried,
The worst you can say all about me
Is that I'm never satisfied. Whoa.
Whoa, oh, oh, work me Lord, hmm, use me Lord,
Please, honey, don't you leave me,
I feel so useless down here.
I can't find me anybody to love me
And I've looked around,
I've looked everywhere, everywhere
And I can't find me anyone to love,
To feel my care.
So honey don't you go and leave me, Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Honey, don't you go off and leave me, Lord.
Can't I show you how hard it is
Trying to live when you're all alone.
Everyday I keep pushing,
Keep trying to move forward
But something is driving me, oh, back,
And something's trying to hold on to me,
To my way of life, why.
Oh please, please, oh don't you go and
Forget me down here, don't forget me, Lord.
I think that maybe you can ease me,
Maybe I can help you, said uh whoa,
Oh please, please, don't you go and leave me Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, whoa, whoa please,
Hmm please, don't you leave me, Lord.
民谣不是西部风格，C&W更有美国本土的特色，而民谣，一般将之推及上英国清教徒
Puritan的五月花号，后来就被人称为传统民谣Traditional Folk Song，以区别近
代发展出更具思想内涵及进行式节拍的现代民谣。现代民谣的先驱，也是迪伦的偶
象Woody Guthrie，当时现代民谣正处于发展阶段，1960年后经迪伦与贝兹的呼号，
全美民谣风潮才爆发。迪伦是以民谣起家的，为摇滚乐注入第三种血液。代表作是
那首Blow in the Wind，此歌后由John, Peter & Mary传遍全世界，得承认，迪伦
本人的声音并不算理想。故而有人把他称为Guthrie's Children，我再贴两首歌，
以显示现代民谣风。迪伦后来走向电声Like a Rolling Stone，也是受当时乐风的
影响，尤其是英国乐队theBeatles, Rollingstones等的冲击。
Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
Well, you give me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin'
All your hugs and kisses and your money too
Well, you know you love me baby
Until you tell me, maybe
That some day, well I'll be through
Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die

Jerry Lee Lewis - Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On (1957)
有了这些，后来者的传承就好理清了。比如Little Richard的线络，就有Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Alice Cooper, James Brown, David Bowie and Prince etc.
My true belief about Rock 'n' Roll...is this: I believe this kind of music is demonic. I have seen the rock groups and the punk-rock people in this country. And some of their lyrics is demonic. They talk against God....I believe that kind of music is driving people from Christ. It is contagious. (White, Little Richar, 1984, 197)

前面说五十年代底，摇滚暗落了一段。直至theBeatles出现。但流行歌曲总还是要流
行下去，六十年代初Rockabilly一直承续，Marty Robbins, Everly Brothers, Brenda
Lee, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash and Ricky Nelson，Ray Charles的C&W依旧畅销。
软摇滚一样风云，Bobby Vee, Bobby Vinton, bobby Rydell and Neil Sedaka。最
景气的是Pop，流行合唱团The Kingston Trio和Peter, Paul and Mary风云突起，
当然，左翼与民谣的种子开始散布，直至迪伦出现。
Harry Belafonte - Banana Boat
巧合，咖啡豆刚成立初我由西文版译过些，原来还是美国六十年代左翼民谣，象Guthrie
早先的This Land is Your Land，劳工人民的歌，源于牙买加。
(peak Billboard position # 5 in 1961)
Words and Music by John D Loudermilk
Sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry
He said he had to work so I went to the show alone
They turned down the lights and turned the projector on
And just as the news of the world started to begin
I saw my darlin' and my best friend walk in
Though I was sittin' there they didn't see
And so they sat right down in front of me
When he kissed her lips I almost died
And in the middle of the color cartoon I started to cry.
Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry
Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry
And so I got up and slowly walked on home
And mama saw the tears and said "what's wrong?"
And so to keep from telling her a lie
I just said "sa-a-a-d movies make me cry"
Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry
Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Sa-a-a-d movies make me cry-i-i
